Windows 10: Media Player - Find Album Information

When I try to Update Album Information from online servers the default server is: musicmatch-ssl.xboxlive.com
This server seems unable to find any music, even music that was previously found!

Previous versions of Media Player on my previous laptop searched for album information on Sony Music, I believe?

Is there a way to redirect or change the location searched for Update Album Information in Media Player?

Thanx

windows media player showing wrong album information and overwriting correct information

i had an error when writing the problem, the album being replaced was "rubber soul" not "revolver" fyi...

1. 1 day problem, faced it immediately when i ripped the cd.

2. the album shows a small album art and title info at the dvd drive d: when in the explorer/utforskaren library, both art and info shown is correct. its only wrong when its being ripped.

3. all songs from the "beatles - rubber soul" are overwritten when i rip the album the "beatles - please please me", the songs, album art and title takes the place of "the beatles - rubber soul" effectively removing all of the "rubber soul" album replacing
it with "please please me"

4. the songs/album are from a complete cd collection called "the beatles - in stereo" its the entirety of beatles songs, on alot of cds.

will try and do the 1-5 steps you posted me. ill get back

thanks for a fast reply

Fredrik

 

Find Album Information in Windows Media Player Does Not Work

Just checked my hosts file and it was there. That exact same thing happened to me actually.
Thank you, I fixed it! *Biggrin
